Turbo boost?

Ok, I have searched the files and really no clear answer to this. With the ARP studs, metal headgasket, no mods to the lower end, how much boost can the 7MGTE take? I have a boost guage on my car and it feels pretty nice at 10 psi, ( I have an adjuster for the wastegate) stock turbo with stock elbow. I know about the bigger exhaust facts and getting rid of the elbow and getting a better intercooler and better this and that, but without ARP main and rods bolts, how much has been pushed boostwise and had power and held together for a while?

Thanks

Russ

I am staying with the 7MGTE by-the-way, so no 1j or 2j suggestions please.
